articles that cite an article or author you have chosen by sending you an e-mail
every time the article or author has been cited. The databases listed below offer citation and author alerts.

RSS Feeds

RSS feeds push updates of websites or blogs to your RSS reader, so you don't have to check the individual sites. Instead of visiting each site, subscribe to the site's RSS feed, and updates will be delivered directly to your RSS reader.

Major web browsers come with an RSS reader. You can also create an account with a web-based reader, such as Bloglines or Google Reader. Read more about getting an RSS reader and subscribing to RSS feeds from your favorite journals at the Galther Health Sciences Library.
